Curtain Call - Clearly Christmas

I couldn't stop 'til I conquered that box!!  Hope you don't mind a little second helping for the Curtain Call Challenge...

 
...I really missed that ribbon =]
 
 
Clearly I didn't have the proper blues or greens, but I made do cutting a little leftover cardstock with the SSS Ornament dies, adding the tangle of silver thread, a few large Teresa Collins sequins and rhinestone bling - all enclosed and layered in a clear acetate card box.  I use them often for giving cards with too much dimension to send in the mail.... like this one. ...  so the card becomes the gift.  My favorite when I take a friend out for a birthday lunch.
 
Enjoy the rest of your crafting day - off to start the laundry - 'tis Monday =/

Well done, my friend! I think you've got a winner here. Brilliant idea too. Love the green and blue against the silver; everything just pops. You've been a busy little bee this morning. Oh, and rain coming your way....Bev
